Electric-Field Induction Motor with Discrete Circuit Elements and Improved Rotor Dynamics

Researchers propose an electric-field induction motor whose rotor is made of discrete circuit elements between a finite number of conductive vanes, overcoming the limits of a single continuous material in resistivity, permittivity, and circuit characteristics. This macroscale motor uses circuitry on the rotor surface to emulate the "deep bar" rotor design of magnetic induction motors, providing higher torque over a wide speed range. The study completed the analysis, design, and demonstration of the motor.
